greetings all you braille blasters --
This is a rant about mercurial.
A while back I downloaded
mercurial-1.9.win32-py2.6.exe
and installed it on my old laptop.
It works fine but I am wondering if there is a version that will put the hg 
command in a location in the command path.
Python 2.6 is also installed in a nonstandard place, and hg is a bat file 
located in c:\python26\scripts
It is a pain to type the whole pathname, and while it only takes a little 
tinkering to modify the path, I think this type of thing should be done in 
the setup program.  I hate revisiting low level install operations when it 
shouldn't be necessary.

Anyone else on windows doing this?
